The weird thing about pickleball, for me at least, is it's treated like a recent thing when we were playing pickleball in gym class back in 2006. My uncle was talking to me about it a few years ago like it was this hot new thing and I was like, "the thing even the kids who wouldn't run during gym were down for?"
FTR, I think pickleball should be included and I submit badminton as my evidence. They're basically the same sport and require the same amount of agility and hand-eye coordination. I was sick at both. Not to brag, but nobody wants this smoke

Come to think of it, break dancing also became popular around the same time, I think. I remember "you got served" being an early 2000s thing. So maybe you have a point. Although, nobody mistook 'breaking' as a sport.
